| | Automatic Logon checkcox is missing! Hi, When I run netplwiz, I don't have "Users must enter a username and password to use this computer" checkbox anymore! I think there is a security policy that hides the checkbox. What conditions makes that checkbox invisible? How can I have "Users must enter a username and password to use this computer" option back? Any help would be appreciated, Max |

| | RE: Automatic Logon checkcox is missing! Is your computer a domain member? That checkbox is only available in stand-alone installations. If your computer is set up to log on someone automatically you can change it directly in the registry by changing some values in the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon Set AutoAdminLogon to 0 Delete the DefaultPassword value --- Your question may already be answered in Windows Vista Security: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/047...otectyourwi-20 "Max2006" wrote: Quote: > Hi, > > When I run netplwiz, I don't have "Users must enter a username and password > to use this computer" checkbox anymore! > > I think there is a security policy that hides the checkbox.

| | Re: Automatic Logon checkcox is missing! Thank you Jesper for help. My computer is member of domain, but I am logged in as local admin. Even local users cannot use that feature? Thank you again.

| | Re: Automatic Logon checkcox is missing! Yes you can use the feature on any computer, domain-joined or not. However, you have to use the registry to configure it on a domain-joined computer. --- Your question may already be answered in Windows Vista Security: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/047...otectyourwi-20 "Max2006" wrote: Quote: > Thank you Jesper for help. > > My computer is member of domain, but I am logged in as local admin. > > Even local users cannot use that feature? > > Thank you again. > Max > > > "Jesper" <Jesper@xxxxxx> wrote in message > news:6849341F-56F5-4E98-9259-D958A03D3C78@xxxxxx Quote: > > Is your computer a domain member?
